BURGLARS AT HoBoKEN.
Rob Store of 5000 in Notes and
Money, But Are Captured.

JEsuP, May 4.-Last night between {
and 10 o'clock burglars entered the store OF
w. A. Martin at Hoboken by forcing g
window, while the clerk was absent, and
stole a trunk containing money and notes
amounting to 5000 Mr.. Warren, the clerk
was absent from the store about twenty
minutes and discovered the theft immedi
ately ON his return He at one notified Mr.
Martin, who, arming himself with shot
gun, boarded the train for Waycross, and
proceeded about six miles in that direction
when he got off and returned on foot.
About one and a half miles from Hoboken
he met a negro skulking along near the
road whom he induced to stop by covering
him with his gun. In approaching Mr..
Martin the negro fumbled around a little
clump of briars as long as possible, and on
being charged with the robbery was very
much confused. Proceeding to the house
of Mr.. Rawls with his prisoner, Mr.. Martin
secured that gentleman's assistance and a
lantern, and returning to the brier patch
found a roll of money containing $50 and a
razor that Mr.. Martin recognized as his
The negro then confessed the crime and
carried Mr.. Martin to the trunk, which had
been broken open near by. In it We're $l26
worth of wood tickets and other papers.
He gave his name as Ed Cones, and his part
ner in the robbery as Henry Wilson, both
of them from Waycross. Securing his pris-
oner, Mr.. Martin reached Hoboken just
as the special train for Waycross arrived,
by which he proceeded to Waycross, and
securing the assistance of Sheriff Henderson,
started in quest of Wilson. AS they APP
proched Gilbert Williams house, Wilson,
who was ON the lookout, made break for
liberty and the swamp, with the Sheriff and
posse in hot pursuit. After an exciting
chase of two miles and a fusilade of pistol
shots, Wilson was caught by negro, Ed
ward Owens. From Wilson Sl31 we're re-
covered Mr. Martin is yet out S75 or $50.
These negroes are both old offenders and
professional gamblers. Cones recently broke
Jail at Live Oak, Fla, and there is a reward
OF $25 for him from the officials Of that
place. But for Mr.. Martins prompt action
and energy he would most probably never
have recovered his money.

MORE LIBERTY.
The Pope's Wishes for Universal Peace
and More Power.


ROME, May 24.-The Pope in an allocu-
ton yesterday referred to the religious
peace with Prussia which he said he had
made every effort to attain. The Pope said
1--WE felt more concerned at the evils of this
religious struggle with Prussia, and as we
were unable to remedy them by striving
alone, owing to the obstacles which inn
peded our power, we invoked the co-opera-
ton of the German Bishops and the Catholic
Deputies in the Prussian Diet, from whose
constancy and concord the church de-
rived great fruits and expects still
greater Thanks TO the equitable and pa
ciiic sentiments of Emperor William and
his counsellors, the Prussian government re-
moved more serious Inconvenience and then
accepted the various practical conditions of
peace, by which some of the former laws
against the church have been repealed and
oGnels mitigated. Something remains,
but we must rejoice at what we have
obtained, and above all in regard
to the free action of the Pope in the
government of the Church iii Prussia.
We do not despair of yet
obtaining the best results IN other parts of
Germany; God grant that Italy, who is par
ticularly dear to us, may share the spirit of
peace with which we are animated toward
all nations. The means of obtaining this
concord would be to establish the Pope in
a position where he would be subject to
no power in the enjoyment of a full and real
liberty, which, far from injuring Italy,
would powerfully contribute to her pros
peIity ~

THE MASTER BUILDERS.
AN EDICT AGAINST THE LABOR
UNIONS.

The Workingmen Must Be In Subiec-
tion-Unions Not Tolerated Master
Builders Must Combine and Resist
the Encroachments of the Carpenters
Recommends Stoppage of all Build
ing Operations.
Executive Board of the National Associa-
tion of Builders left for their homes this
evening, after issuing an address long enough
to fill two columns of a newspaper. The
document is directed to the Builders and
Traders Exchange of Chicago, to all afiil-
lated bodies Of the National Association Of
Builders and to the general public.
An entirely new method of dealing with
workingmen is evolved in the case of whole
sale lockouts. 1t is advocated at the outset of
the address a complete cessation of work
in all building trades of Chicago
as an answer to the bricklayers' demand for
the Saturday payday and is fully indorsed by
the board. The question of a Saturday pay
day is stated to be inconsequential in itself
and easily settled had it not been preceded
by a long series of usurpation by the trades
unions After commencing to contractors
by the Chicago Builders Board, it
proceeds to enumerate the "encroachments" p"
that must be reconquered by the employers
at all hazards. First is the concession by
which unions are able to prevent working
men not members of unions from obtaining
work. This, the board declares, is the real
meaning of the rule that union men shall
not work with non-union men, and, says
the board, it amounts to conspiracy against
ia ioht of tan-
croachmentsp are arbitrary powers
exercised by the walking delegates, restric-
ton of number of apprentices and
the requirement. that the formen shall be
members of the Worknen's Union. Bet
ter, eays the address, that not another
brick be laid or another nail driven in Chi
cago for year than that this opportunity
be lost to regain these rights for the EN-
ployers."
WHAT THEY RECOMMEND.
All branches of the National Builders AS
sociation are then advised to assume the
same attitude as their Chicago brethren, in
the event of an issue being forced upon
them. The address closes by suggesting that
every builders exchange throughout the
country adopt the following:
ITO encourage all workmen who wish to
have an opportunity to freely work, untram
meled by the improper requirements of in
voluntary associations, and be protected in
their work, it will be wise to create and
establish at once bureau of record in con-
nection with this association, where any
and all workmen may put themselves
on record as asserting to the principles of
individual liberty announced in Chicago,
and by and through which, workmen SO as
senting, will be kept at work and protected
in it in preference TO those who deny these
principles Let steps be taken after GER
IL. ~
